forensic handwriting comparison

Forensic handwriting comparison is a scientific process used to determine if a handwritten document was authored by a specific individual. Experts analyze key features such as letter shapes, spacing, slant, pressure, and unique writing habits. They compare questioned samples with known writings, often using microscopes and specialized tools to identify consistent patterns or discrepancies. The goal is to assess whether the handwriting is from the same person, providing valuable evidence in legal cases. This method combines trained observation with scientific principles to support or challenge authenticity claims of handwritten materials.
